Transition Plan

The University of Kansas strives to operate each service or activity so that, when viewed in its entirety, it is accessible to and usable by people with disabilities. However, KU aspires to do more than comply with the letter of accessibility laws. Our goal is to endorse a campus climate that will sustain attention to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the spirit in which it was designed and provide the KU campus community a climate of inclusiveness.

To help achieve this goal, KU has developed a transition plan to begin transforming its facilities to provide even greater accessibility for students, faculty, staff, and visitors with disabilities.

Plan Governance

The current transition plan was created in 2013 by the Architectural Accessibility and Inclusion Committee which includes several members with various disabilities and representatives of organizations that advocate for the rights of people with disabilities.

Addition and Prioritization of Items

New items are typically added to the transition plan in one of two ways:

A person alerts the Office of Accessibility and ADA Education or Design and Construction Management of an area on campus that could be improved for accessibility.

Current Plan

The current plan for academic facilities, created in 2013, is illustrated in the table below. The Department of Student Housing maintains a separate transition plan for student housing facilities. If you have comments, questions, or recommendations for additions to the plan, please contact our office by email at accomodations@ku.edu or by phone at 785-864-4946.
